      The Queen of Siam and children

      1889

      RCIN 2907348

      King Chulalongkorn (1853-1910) of Thailand had 92 wives and 77 children. Four of the wives were known as 'Queen' but a portrait of only one of them was sent to Queen Victoria. It is thought that this photograph may be of Queen Sawang (1862-1955), with two of their eight children, but it is not certain.
